Insert disk

[Chronojiuj]

I've owned this game for a while now (since 2000), and have never had any troubles with it. But only recently (think about several months ago), it decided to start saying "Insert disk" whenever I attempt to play it. I've tried both cleaning the disk and replacing it with a downloaded iso version, but to no avail. Would anyone have any idea as to what is happening?

The game is called Robo Rumble, if that helps.

The odd thing is, the demo versions work, and don't come up with this error.

Did you change CD drives by any chance during the last few months.

try other similar discs, your drive might be tired.

No.

It does it when I try mounting the image as well.

It's possible that you will need to find out where it's trying to read the CD from. There are some INI files or registry settings which tell you which CD drive it will try to read data from but you'll need to dig around for it :/

that kinda thing is actually a lot easier to do with filemon.

.......just crack it.
